[Bug 1901344] [NEW] [SRU Required] Spotify album icon shows optimal CD disk instead of album/cover image

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot (crichton):

The Spotify Album Icon in the Sound Applet should show the Album/Song
cover of the Spotify song. Instead it shows the default CD icon.

According to upstream, the Spotify link has changed. A fix for this (and
in the cinnamon-screensaver) is available.

An SRU for BOTH PACKAGES, cinnamon, and cinnamon-screensaver in Focal
and Groovy is required. (4 projects, 2 packages, 2 versions)

SRU Template:
[Impact] 

 * When users are playing a Song via Spotify:
      * Cinnamon Package: In the sound applet, the Spotify album cover should show, but instead the plain 'CD'/Disk icon shows.
      * Cinnamon Screensaver Package: On the top left, the song information, including the album cover should show but the album cover doesn't appear.

[Test Case]

 * Cinnamon Package: Play a song via Spotify and open the Sound applet to see the CD/Disk icon rather than the album.
 * Cinnamon Screensaver Package: Play a song via Spotify and lock the screen to see no album on the top left when you unlock when it asks for password input.

[Regression Potential]

 * Regressions through other Spotify updates, or any link updates (the
main cause of this bug) can cause possible regression.

 * Python is always known for breaking compatibility with plugins and
such; while this is unlikely if it were to happen, it probably shouldn't
happen before the support for Focal/Groovy expires.

 * Physically talking Regression Potential: Very low. This was applied
upstream in Linux Mint recently. I will make sure this is fixed when it
waits in -proposed before it moves officially.

[Other Info]
 
 * This package requires a patch for BOTH Focal and Groovy.
 * Review the Focal patch first before we move onto the Groovy patch
 * Both will be tested.
